Landing on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 90.23 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, scoring a final approach score of 90.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 344.0° at 2 nautical miles and 406 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 34, which has a length of 4,001 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 111 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 119°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 913 meters was 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

Despite the successful landing, there were some deviations from the ideal performance. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.9 meters from the centerline. These deviations suggest that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the landing roll.

Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. However, the deviations from the ideal performance highlight the need for continued training and practice to refine the pilot's skills and maintain a high level of proficiency.
